The Girl Who Loved Andy Pettitte

So after hearing for the last month that Joe Torre is the reason the Dodgers are in the playoffs (because he is magic! not because of the NL West or the players collected by Logan White/Paul DePodesta and somehow not traded away by Ned Coletti), are any of the New York papers going to point [...]

An offseason blast from the past. Tom Gordon is probably going to retire:
Righthander Tom Gordon, who has not pitched since July because of an elbow injury, is expected to have surgery. The Phillies have a $4.5 million club option, with a $1 million buyout, on Gordon in 2009.
You may remember him as inspiring a [...]

The track record speaks for itself. I hope he gets us back to the playoffs. This speaks volumes about what the team is willing to do to win. I talked to Scott Proctor today. He said to be ready to pitch a lot. He likes to use the bullpen. That’s fine with me.

Roger Clemens is apparently hurt, and has been so since his start against [...]

The Yankees losing to the Angels is an inevitability, though Mike Mussina usually lasts more than 1 2/3 innings. But even as Joe Torre is on his quest to destroy Edwar Ramirez, Gameday is providing laughs to the masochists such as myself who are trying to follow the slaughter.
